He is based on the Voyager Optimus Prime mold of course. The flames are made by a company called Pro-Stripe, and I found in in an automotive store. Its original purpose is to be some sort of pin-striping for cars. The only color I saw was silver...

The windshield and lightpiping for the head are painted with Testor's Transparent Candy Apple Red Enamel. Unfortunately, I accidentally dropped the windshield into alcohol, and it fogged up. My only recourse was to paint it dark enough to where you couldn't tell.

What happened to the Autobot symbol??? Well, I covered the symbol with Hobbico filler, sanded it flush, covered it with a little crazy glue, snaded it down again, painted the area silver, and attached a reprolabels.com Decepticon symbol!

The details are painted on using Testor's enamel...I even gave him LIGHT wash of silver where I felt it was applicable, and covered the silver bits in a light black wash to make him look dirty. He is a bad guy after all...
